1 Safety Instructions
Danger:Before installation, commissioning, or maintenance, be sure to disconnect the main power supply and hang a “Do Not Energize” warning sign. Only proceed once you have confirmed that the equipment has come to a complete stop to prevent crushing injuries or electric shock.
- Operators must undergo professional training and become familiar with the equipment’s structure and control logic before they are permitted to work.
- It is strictly prohibited to place hands or tools within the operating range of moving parts while the equipment is running.
- The operating air pressure should be maintained within the product’s rated range (typically 0.4 to 0.6 MPa) to prevent damage caused by overpressure.
- Ensure the equipment is properly grounded to prevent malfunctions caused by static electricity or leakage.
- If any unusual noises, overheating, or odors occur, immediately shut down the equipment, disconnect the power, and contact technical support.
2 Unboxing and Inspection
After unpacking, please check each item against the packing list to verify that the products have not been damaged during transit.
Packing list
- Variable-pitch slide table body × 1
- Mounting screws and accessory pack × 1
- Product Certificate × 1
- Instruction manual (this document) × 1
Note:If you find that the packaging is damaged, the product is deformed, or any components are missing, do not install or use the product; contact the supplier immediately.
3 Product Model and Specifications

| Working environment temperature | 0 ~ 50 ℃ |
| Applicable workstations | 3C, semiconductors, new energy battery assembly, etc. |
For details on the model naming convention, please refer to the corresponding product datasheet. If you are uncertain about model selection, you can submit your application conditions via the technical support page to receive selection recommendations.
4 Mechanical installation
Installation Environment Requirements
- The mounting surface shall be flat and clean, with a recommended flatness of ≤ 0.05 mm.
- Avoid environments with severe dust, oil contamination, or corrosive gases; install a protective cover when necessary.
Installation steps
- Clean the mounting surface and verify that the screw hole positions align with the product’s mounting holes.
- Use the supplied screws to pass through the product’s mounting holes and pre-tighten them evenly.
- Tighten the fasteners incrementally in a diagonal sequence to the specified torque, avoiding uneven loading that could cause deformation of the guide rail.
- Manually push the slide table to ensure smooth movement with no sticking or jamming.
Note:Do not strike the slide table body. The length of mounting screws must not exceed the depth of the threaded holes to avoid damaging the internal guideways.
5 Electrical wiring
Before wiring, please ensure that the power supply voltage matches the controller output, and follow the specifications below.
Wiring Key Points
- Power cables and signal cables should be routed separately to avoid parallel bundling, thereby reducing electromagnetic interference.
- After completing the wiring of sensors and limit switches, verify the terminal numbers one by one.
- After completing the wiring, secure it with electrical tape or cable management trays to prevent it from being pulled.
// Example: Controller I/O definitions (refer to the actual model for specifics)
IN1→ Origin sensor (Origin)IN2→ Home sensorOUT1→ Cylinder forward (Forward)OUT2→ Cylinder Retract (Backward)// Warning: Wiring errors may cause malfunction; always disconnect the power before performing any operations.
Danger:Electrical wiring must be performed by a licensed electrician, and the system must be reliably grounded before power is applied.
6 Parameter settings
Set the motion parameters via the controller or host computer software; typical parameters are as follows.
| Parameter | Recommended value | Description |
|---|
| Starting position | 0 mm | Corresponding to the origin |
| Target spacing | Set by workpiece | Must be matched with the actual workstation. |
| Movement speed | Medium speed | For the first-time debugging, it is recommended to use a low speed. |
| acceleration and deceleration time | 100 ~ 200 ms | Avoid impact |
| Positioning delay | 50 ms | Ensure stable gripping. |
Supports recipe saving: Store the spacing parameters for different products as recipes, and recall them with a single click during changeovers to enable flexible production.
7 Operation and Trial Run
First trial run
- Confirm that the mechanical and electrical installations are correct and that all protective measures are in place.
- Run the system in low-speed jog mode and observe whether the pitch adjustments at each station are synchronized and smooth.
- Gradually increase the speed to normal operating levels and verify positioning accuracy and repeatability.
- Only after 30 minutes of no-load operation with no abnormalities can the equipment be put into loaded production.
Note:The initial commissioning is recommended to be conducted under the guidance of an experienced engineer; operating at full load immediately is prohibited.
8 Maintenance and Care
Daily Maintenance
- Regularly check the tightness of the screws to prevent loosening.
- Keep the guide rails clean and replenish the grease as needed.
- Inspect the trachea and joints for air leaks, and replace aged components promptly.
Regular maintenance cycle
| Project | Cycle |
|---|
| Clean the rail/Wipe | Per shift |
| Lubricate/Inspect the air circuit | Monthly |
| Comprehensive overhaul/Replacement of wear parts | Every six months |
9 Common Troubleshooting
| Fault phenomenon | Possible causes | Handling method |
|---|
| The slide table does not move. |
Air supply not connected/Solenoid valve malfunction/Sensor anomaly |
Check the air pressure, solenoid valve coils, and sensor signals. |
| Positioning accuracy deviation |
Guide rail wear/Parameter drift/Overload |
Calibrate parameters, inspect the guide rails, and verify the load range. |
| Stiff movement with abnormal noise |
Insufficient lubrication/Foreign object ingress/Installation deformation |
Clean and lubricate; inspect the flatness of the mounting surface. |
| Air leak |
Tracheal connector loosening/seal aging |
Retighten or replace the seals. |
If you are unable to resolve the issue through self-diagnosis, do not attempt to disassemble precision components; please contact Xinda Technical Support promptly.
